Philips has shown thatLED lighting

also provides atmospheric, warm white light. The efficient energy consumption of LED lighting is naturally an extra benefit. This lighting has exceeded all of my expectations. And the guests love the new LED lighting too.”

Customer challenge

The Ariane hotel is a superb base for anyone enjoying a trip in historic Ypres. Looking to expand its premises, the hotel purchased a nearby townhouse, and constructed a connecting passage which would serve as an entrance/foyer.

We also hung Celino luminaires above the reception desk, providing clear visibility for both staff and guests. In the offices, the same MASTER LEDspot lamps were used to create a refreshing ambience that keeps staff alert and focused.

The transformation continued in the restaurant and bar. We added ‘invisible’ eW cove lighting under the counter and behind the shelves, creating eye-catching color effects. For overhead lighting, the eW Downlight was used to give the room an enjoyable modern ambience.

LED light has bought the new areas to life, and the hotel will save money thanks to the low-energy consumption and low maintenance requirements of the fixtures.
